Anyone have any experience with using Amsoil in the transfer case? My understanding is that fills are a real pain so I'm hoping to try one that has a squeeze packet so I can just shove it in there.Alternatively, does anyone have any suggestions on any devices that I could pour T-case fluid in...
No, they aren't, they're just clear needles painted orange on the bottom. One of the lighting tutorials has someone that removed the paint then repainted with red.
There seemed to have been a lot of discussion about different boosters and master cylinders. Is there any consensus as to which ones to use at this point?
What would happen if I were to install the appropriate brake booster for this upgrade early? I'm going to do an engine swap here shortly to get my new body up and running, so that would be the ideal time to get the new booster installed. However I don't really have the cash at the moment to...
Technically I could probably make use of it as early as tomorrow, I have one of the engines almost ready to pull. However, I do need to get the OTHER motor ready to pull as well, which may not be ready to go until next weekend or so.I guess it depends on how long you're comfortable with me...
Does anyone local have an engine hoist I may be able to borrow? I'm getting pretty close to being able to swap the motor from my totaled Talon in to the new one I bought.
Bought my LEDs for my project, and they've arrived. Looking forward to getting them installed.For those of you that don't want to try to sand faces, I picked up a set of new gauge faces from Black Cat Custom Automotive - Gauge Faces for all makes and models of cars and trucks - LED Lighting...
YEP:1995 TSi AWD, has rod knock (probably a spun bearing).I'm going to pull out the 6-bolt and install the motor from my 97, and most likely return everything to more or less stock. Once I've sussed out the 6-bolt and rebuilt/repaired it, it'll likely go back in and I'll start...
I have no data other than the link, one of the reasons I'm asking locally. If I decide I want to move on this I'll likely ask if a local dsm person can go check it out and take it for an inspection so hopefully all I'd need to do is make arrangements to pick it up or ship it.
I was in a collision on Wednesday, looks like my car is going to be a total loss.In my search to replace it, I found this ad:1997 Eagle Talin TSI AWDIt doesn't have leather, but that should be an easy swap.Does anyone know anything about this car or its history? I expect finding...
I was heading in to work, car in front of me stopped short. I hit my brakes, and was able to stop a foot or so off of the care in front of me. Car behind me plowed in to me and pushed me in to the car in front.Car still runs and drives fine, but:"Attached is a copy of our initial estimate...
Well, my last one (original transmission) was taking a shit, so I bought a "junkyard" transmission. One of the seals went bad in this one and pumped fluid all over my clutch (discovered when I had the car in for service when the balance shaft belt took out my CPS). Got that fixed, but I think...
Finally got it up on the lift, wheel bearings are fine, axles look good, looks like the only leak is oil coming from the banjo bolt on one of the turbo feed lines.Sound appears to be coming from around the axle shaft area on the passenger side, I'm guessing it's the output shaft and I need a...
The car is making a somewhat unpleasant noise these days, as a description, car is making a rhythmic noise, seems to be sourcing from the passenger front footwell. It only appears to be audible when the car is in gear and under power, when out of gear or coasting I don't seem to hear it.
The...
Well, I can use an engine build at some point in the future, but it'll be a while. My 180K motor is something like 8PSI off of factory new, so it'll last.A new transmission, however,...
Saw a black 2G Eclipse while I was fighting traffic in Portland on my way down to Eugene on Saturday. I skipped out and back in to the left lane to get right in front, but then it went off on to 84 so I didn't get a chance to wave or anything.
I've seen a White 1GA around Microsoft campus a few times, you around here?Alternatively/also, any other Microsoft folks out there that have hung on to DSMs instead of upgrading to EVOs?
Wasn't a half bad few days for DSMs for me. First, I saw a 2G Talon in the parking lot of the Regal Parkway Plaza 12, but you appeared to be busy so I didn't walk over to say hi.Then on Tuesday I saw what is probably one of the other few purple 2G Talons in the state when I was turning on to...
Having a problem on my 2G turbo where the speedometer will intermittently drop and read 0, or will sometimes give a reading that is obviously not accurate. When the speedometer reads 0, both the odometer and trip fail to advance or advance very slowly.Any thoughts? Do I just need to throw...
Hey, I'm looking for a place in the greater Seattle area that can roll the lip for my rear fenders. I'd rather find a place to get it done professionally rather than mess around with it myself, and I need to get it done soon, as I'm getting rubbing on my tires, which I expect will get worse...
Went up and took a look at the car on Saturday, it seems to be in pretty good shape. It's got less dents and scrapes than you'd expect on a 20 year old car. General stuff:Passenger side front window rolls up/down slow. Not a big deal.
Power mirrors don't work. Probably the switch...
Well anyway, I'm starting to collect parts for the big suspension job, and I'd like to replace all the bushings while I'm in there, so getting something for these would be helpful.
I've been thinking that if one could get measurements of the existing bushings, it's entirely possible that Energy Suspension or Prothane probably have ones that will fit already,...
That particular car in question is in California. I'm good, but I can't fix a car from two states away. :). That, and there would still be the matter of the oil leak,...Sent from my LG-C900 using Board Express
1. It does burn a little oil and I have been told by WORKS head mechanic that it is more than likely the valve guide (stem) seals, which I have 16 brand new OEM Mitsubishi ones that have yet to be installed. (It still passes smog with the stock 440cc injectors installed.)
2. The horn does not...
Cool.Basically, I've been wanting a VR4 for a LONG time (my main preference would be for a grey 92, actually), although this seems to be a nice color. I'm mainly wondering if that's a good asking price for a 1991 in that condition.Since it's relatively low mileage (lower than my 97...
Someone in the area is apparently selling a 1991 Galant VR4, Green, 135k miles, exterior and interior look pretty good for a 20 year old car. It ate a timing belt so that got done (and the head got rebuilt) about a year ago apparently.Guy is asking $4200, should I go for it?Here's some...
